    I was hoping for Pantheon too (I’m 90% sure Holstrom uses EMacs instead of Vim?)

    Cognitive elites are the MIT and Ivy+ grads that make up Jane Street like the speaker. People like me aren’t getting $5m+ bonuses for being an SRE (I don’t have the pedigree to wor…

    I'll never understand how these cognitive elites live. They're just a completely different kind of human than the rest of us.

    I genuinely think this is because the elites like the MIT dropouts that started this company think the rest of us observers are stupid. They have a billboard with the copy "Complia…

    I don't think he has an obligation to do anything. I just think he's a hack and your friendship is blinding you to this fact.
